MODERN // ALTERNATIVE WEDDING FILMS

So You’re Thinking About Having A Wedding Video?

If you’re looking for a modern alternative to the traditional wedding video in Scotland, the UK or anywhere in the world, I might just be your man! I’m Barry, a Geordie from Newcastle residing in Scotland, and I’m a fanatical traveller and film maker. That’s me on the left (obviously – stop sniggering), and I like to think of myself as a ‘Film Ninja’ as I’m a very discrete, no nonsense film maker! Wedding videography in Scotland doesn’t have to be cheesy and traditional, but don’t take my word for it, check out my collection of wedding film highlights below!

But don’t just take my word for it, here’s some nice things that my previous brides and grooms have said about me!

“As soon as we met Barry we knew that we wanted him to capture our wedding day. He is friendly and laid back and his previous videos were beautiful. He made us both, and our wedding party, feel totally at ease on the day. A lot of the time we forgot he was even there. Our wedding videos are absolutely amazing. They bring back such special memories of our day and we have watched them over and over. Friends and family have all commented on how beautiful and emotive the videos are. We would highly recommend Barry as a wedding videographer, and have already done so to some of our friends who are getting married over the next couple of years.” Jilly & Dave

“We were initially unsure about getting a wedding video, being a bit camera phobic. How wrong could we be!!! Booking Barry was the best decision we made. Barry captures footage in a natural way with no cheesy poses. For the most of the day we didn’t even notice that he was filming. The video has totally exceeded all our expectations and documents magical moments that we would have otherwise missed. The attention to detail and editing was amazing! I still can’t watch the video without tearing up as it brings back wonderful memories of our special day. The service was flawless and Barry was really easy to work with and it was a pleasure to have him at the wedding.”Cara & Dan

“The film Barry created of our wedding day is completely magical and so very special to us. It is something we will treasure for ever, and every time we watch it we are reduced to tears – of joy! But almost as importantly as the film itself is the fact that we were oblivious to all the wonderful moments Barry was capturing throughout our day. There was no pressure to pose, no feeling of being filmed at every turn and every moment he caught was real. Barry is a joy to be around and we can’t think of anyone else we would have chosen to capture our day.”Lindsay & John

“We are so delighted with how Barry has managed to capture our magical day. At no point did we feel like we were made to do anything uncomfortable or embarrassing, and for most of the day he was barely perceptible as he whizzed around catching all the tiny details and our nearest and dearest. The end result is absolutely beautiful and we keep watching it over and over and over again!”Sarah & Neil

Sarah & Neils wonderful wedding was filmed at Crear on the West coast of Scotland. The ceremony was a highlight for me, filming on a sunny day on the beach near the venue. What a day they had!

Nicola & Phil married in the beautiful estate at the Byre at Inchyra! This is one of my favourite wedding venues, and Nicola & Phil filled their day with fun moments to make it a day to remember!

Jilly & Dave’s beautiful wedding was filmed at Bogbain Farm, just outside Inverness. It was a joy to film their wedding, especially all the quirky and rustic elements that make a farm wedding so unique!

Emma & Mark married in the beautiful grounds of Monachyle Mhor! They were surrounded by good friends, family, epic scenery and beautiful views, what a way to spend your wedding day!

So Why Should You Get In Touch With Me?

So you’ve looked at a few of my wedding videos, maybe you like them (woop!). But picking the right videographer for your wedding day is very important! Here’s how I work on your wedding day:

The Best Films Are Those Where People Are Captured Acting Naturally

I’m a no nonsense film maker. I won’t turn up with huge video cameras and stick them in peoples faces, I’ll be inconspicuous with my camera and I’ll be dressed just as smart as the guests. I’m passionate about crafting lovely looking films. Your guests will barely notice me, which is the only way to catch people at their best. Oh and I have been known to open and serve prosecco and champagne as you get ready: what’s not to like?

All Day = All Day

My package is very simple. Some videographers will offer a lower price, then add on ‘extras’ like bridal prep in the morning, or charge extra for dancing. What looks a good price to begin with can rapidly increase!

I don’t offer extras, and I’m very honest about what you get. For me to create a wedding film of your day, I need to be there ALL DAY. So I’ll be there for the bride preparations (and groom preparation if on same site), the ceremony, mingling between ceremony and dinner, the speeches and the first few dances. So normally from 10am until about 8pm (10 hours).

I do this because I’m there to capture your wedding day, not part of it.

Sarah & Adam celebrated their special day at Altskeith Country House on Loch Ard with friends and family, and it was a delight for me to capture it all! Read my in-depth article on Altskeith house here!

Alanna & Conor married in a small church close to the beautifully rustic Byre at Inchyra! The day was full of love and laughter, alongside the stunning grounds surrounding the venue!

Why You Should Have A Wedding Film

And yet not everyone who gets married gets a wedding film. You might still be deciding if you want one yourself, and you may be wondering if it is worth the expense? Well, in my opinion, film can evoke a sense of emotion from your day which is different from your photos. A film conveys emotion through movement and sound, as well as the visual elements. The right film can send shivers up peoples spines, and take them back to relive those special moments over and over again.

Picking the right videographer for your wedding is not an easy task, and you’ve probably realised that there is a quite a ‘variety’ of styles of wedding videos from traditional documentary style to more modern, reportage styles. What you see here is my style.

The Package

I offer 1 main package for your day, which covers the bridal prep in the morning until the first 3 dances, and you’ll receive the videos below:

3 – 5 Minute Highlights Package

This is the version you can share with your friends and family. It’s short enough to show people wherever you are, yet long enough to deliver the emotion and experience of your special day. This is a firm favourite of our clients, and this one will be watched over and over again.

20 – 25 Minute Extended Highlights Wedding Movie

I’ll craft a video that shows the emotion and feeling of your wedding day, overlaid with audio from your speeches and ceremony, and all accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack. I find the longer the video, the less likely and often it will be watched, which is why I create a 20 – 25 minute video of your day.

The Full Ceremony & Speeches

The most important (and nerve racking) part of the day, and I’ll capture it all. From the bride walking down the aisle, to the readings and vows, you’ll receive a copy of the full ceremony to cherish forever.

You’ll also receive a copy of all the speeches, so you can relive those witty one liners and dodgy jokes for years to come!

The Dancing

Ah the first dance. Whether you drift from side by side, or deliver a well rehearsed, choreographed glee esque performance, I’ll capture it all. And I’ll stay for a couple of songs after to record some moves being busted on the dance floor too.

I shoot in full HD so you’ll look crystal clear and amazing in your wedding film. The package also includes a USB to share with friends and family. I also won’t make you wait months for your film, normally I will have it ready for you within 8 weeks.

The package doesn’t just cover my time on the day but also the countless days after I spend delicately editing your highlights film, main film, the ceremony, speeches and dancing.

As you can probably tell, I love creating wedding films, and I always aim to craft the film around each couples personalities and style. I can only do this if I feel like I know some key things about you prior to the day, so I always suggest we meet up for a coffee (my shout) to discuss your day, answer any questions, and get to know each other a little better before you make your decision. Fill out the form below and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible with a package for your special day!
